In Debbie’s new cookbook “Cedar Cove Cookbook” (which will be available wherever books are sold in September, 2009) featuring 130 recipes of classic home cooking that Debbie affectionately calls “real food for regular people,” Debbie brings together her love of cooking and eating together with her passion for writing.

Debbie Macomber~author of the new novel “92 Pacific Boulevard” and new cookbook “Cedar Cove Cookbook”:

Debbie Macomber’s award-winning work has appeared in the number one position on every major bestseller list, including the “New York Times,” “USA Today,” and “Publisher’s Weekly”! She is a multiple award-winning author who has written and published more than 100 books and has more than 100 million of her books in print worldwide! In September 1999, Debbie first achieved a career writing goal when her MIRA title “Promise, Texas” scored the triple crown of publishing. This book, which revisited her “Heart of Texas” series, made the “New York Times,” “Publishers Weekly,” and “Top 50 ‘USA Today'” Bestselling Books lists. Since then, eight other Debbie Macomber novels have also scored the triple crown! Debbie, who is dyslexic, wrote all of her first books in her kitchen on a rented typewriter and struggled for five years to have any of them published. Eventually her work and determination paid off and her first manuscript “Heartsong” was published by Silhouette Books in 1982~becoming the first category romance ever to be reviewed by the prestigious trade magazine “Publisher’s Weekly.” Debbie was soon featured in “Newsweek” magazine, and the rest is history!

Debbie is nationally-renowned for her ability to create compelling characters and bring their stories to life in her books. Drawing on her own experiences and those of her family members and friends, Debbie demonstrates an almost uncanny ability to peer into the souls of women and express their emotions, values, and concerns. Debbie lives with her husband in Port Orchard, Washington and Vero Beach. Florida.

The May dates coincide with Frieze New York and more than 10 satellite fairs around the city. The Contemporary Art Fair NYC will capitalize on the int’l art-buying crowds visiting town during this long spring weekend. Our move to The Tunnel brings our show into a mainstream art market. About/Press/Join!

Re-Branding “Craft” for Today’s Market:
The art world still resists welcoming “craft” into its fairs. The SOFA shows have succeeded in distinguishing craft by using words like Functional Art, Objects and Furnishings, bringing the finest work to the international art market. The Architectural Digest show established their Made section, avoiding using the word “craft,” yet handmade glass, wood, ceramics & furniture comprise the show.

American Art Marketing is providing fine craft artists and designers a platform to show and sell their work at the new Contemporary Art Fair this May. The international art fairs are where you will find your new customers, trending towards a young & sophisticated audience. In May both the fairs and the buyers will be in New York for Frieze week.

The SOFA Alternative For Artist:s
Join us along with some of the most notable and well established art fairs, as we launch the first alternative to the SOFA fairs exclusively for artists + designers in the heart of the Chelsea Arts District.With just 47 booths available, only the highest quality work will be considered.

On July 26, we hoped you might be interested in booking Jonathan Pogash, The Cocktail Guru, for an entertaining interview that will take you and your listeners on a stroll through the iconic cocktails of the cinema, small screen and books. There is no one better schooled in spirits than Jonathan who’s traced their origins, the earliest mixologists and the changing popularity of different brands and styles over the course of time in America.

A frequent guest on both The Today Show and Today in New York and the author of the new Mr. Boston’s Official Bartender’s Guide, Jonathan can discuss the spirits that lend themselves to romance, the way to set a scene at home with cocktails, how to create your own signature drinks and some of the most romantic cocktails that are popular right now.

Jonathan will be in Los Angeles on July 26 to present a seminar, “Setting the Scene with Cocktails” at the Romance Writers of America conference in Anaheim where he’ll share his extensive knowledge of the world of spirits and wine with more than 400 novelists. We hope you’ll want him to share some of his insights with your audience, as well.
